Jonelle Price (nee Richards) sprang to international attention when she was part of New Zealand's bronze-medal-winning team at the London Olympics in 2012.

She was New Zealand's best performer at the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games with her fourth placing, at an event that saw the cross country course end the dreams of many. Her debut for the NZ senior team was at the World Equestrian Festival (Aachen) in 2011.

Price grew up in Motueka, near Nelson. Her family was not at all horsey but that didn’t stop her nurturing her love of all things equestrian. She studied law for a year but quickly realised her life was destined to be horses.

With her now husband Tim, she moved permanently to UK in 2005 and together have created a successful business at their Marlborough base. She’s had top 10 finishes at Burghley for the last three years and placed second at Luhmuhlen - both 4* ranked events.

Outside of riding, Price loves seeing and experiencing different cultures, food, cooking keeping fit and spending downtime with good mates.
